Album Review: The Wonder - Pilot

These Paris-based indie rockers offer a glimpse of things to come with this brief five-track debut EP.

Draped in luxuriant guitars, soft high-register vocals and comfy, cruisy, simple bass lines (see Shadows Throw Bodies) it makes for pleasant, if not particularly challenging listening. They tread a well-worn path of conscientiously written, carefully produced indie; the EP wouldn’t have felt ahead of its time ten years ago. It’s not going to set the world on fire, but it’s always worth hearing something done well, even if it has been done before.
